What travelers say:

Chongqing is a mountain city, a vibrant city. In the hustle and bustle of this bustling modern city, there is a place to feel the tranquility of time, which is the Ciyun Temple located on the top of the Lion. This millennium temple is not only full of historical charm, but also opens its doors to all tourists for free, and is also a beautiful place. Ciyun Temple is located in Nan'an District, Chongqing, built on the Lion Rock. The temple covers an area of 8,000 square meters and has a construction area of 4,000 square meters. It is one of the few monks and nuns in China. Lisi is in Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years and has retained a large number of ancient buildings. It can be reached in a few minutes on foot along Nanbin Road and has convenient transportation. The temple is free to the outside, and any visitor can freely enter the inside. Stepping into the mountain gate, the first thing you see is a huge reclining lion, the lion statue dating back to the Song Dynasty, symbolizing the majesty of Dharma. On the steps, the Grand Palace appeared in front of you. This is one of the main buildings in the temple, and it is dedicated to a 1.8 meter high Jade Buddha sitting statue. This Jade Buddha is realistic and solemn, and is one of the larger jade Buddhas in China. The Daxiong Pagoda also has two towers of bells and drums, as well as several small jade Buddhas and Luo Han statues. Its exquisite jade carving craftsmanship, coupled with a long historical atmosphere, makes people feel the tranquil and pure land of the Buddha country. There are also many corridors such as the Temple of the Tibetan King and the Temple of the Guanyin, which serve different Buddha statues. The Aidao Hall behind was once a place where nuns practiced, and at most there were more than 200 nuns practicing the practice. This layout of the monks and nuns is rare today. The Tibetan scriptures in the temple also have a collection of precious ancient books and texts, which are of immeasurable value. Not only the buildings are precious, but also the beautiful scenery of Lion Rock in Ciyun Temple. On the top of the mountain garden, the night view of the entire main city of Chongqing is panoramic. The Chaotianmen Bridge at the intersection of the two rivers and Baixiang Street outline beautiful pictures on the sparkling river. This beautiful city scenery is reflected in the quiet atmosphere of the temple. Ciyun Temple in Chongqing is a temple with historical, artistic and landscape values. Its ancient buildings carry thousands of years of memory, and the incense and fire of the Buddha hall show a deep cultural heritage.
